
#  Data presented here are the simulation results generated from an Immersed Boundary CFD code developed under the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) platform to understand the interaction
 
   of a coral colony with the surrounding fluid at different turbulent flow condition. 

#  The details of the coral geometry, numerical method, and the simulation results can be found in the "Effects of coral colony morphology on turbulent flow dynamics" which is under review 

   at PLOS ONE and a preprint version is available at the following link:

   https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/839902v1

#  The simulation results were generated in HDF5 format. The results provide velocity data at the interior of a coral colony at different Reynolds numbers.  

#  There is a naming convention for each file:       Coral colony name_ Reynolds (Re) number used in the simulation

   For example: Pmeandrina_Re_15000.hdf5                P. meandrina              Re 15000

#  The variables used in data sets:                  Velocity magnitude (m/s)
